Cypher Oval Carabiner

Oval carabiners are designed for symmetry, which keeps your gear centered and prevents it from shifting unexpectedly. They are particularly useful for aid climbing, pulley systems, or racking nuts, where you need a predictable, stable orientation.

Yes, the symmetrical shape is specifically engineered to keep loads centered along the spine of the carabiner. This design significantly reduces the likelihood of the carabiner rotating and cross-loading, which is a common issue with non-symmetrical shapes.

With a major axis strength of 20 kN, these carabiners are robust enough for standard anchor building and general climbing applications. However, always ensure your specific setup aligns with the rated strength of your gear.

Each carabiner weighs 70 grams. While not the lightest option on the market, this weight reflects a durable, reliable construction that is built to handle consistent use.

Yes, they are CE certified, meaning they meet rigorous safety standards for climbing equipment. You can trust them for technical maneuvers on the wall.
